This is the time of year that the last of my New Year resolutions get broken. My good intentions go out of the window and my gym membership card is sacrificed for getting out our next report or responding to the latest government consultation.

The world can manage with me breaking my promises to use my tennis racket more, but some resolutions need to be kept. This government has made some great green promises. They have said they understand what businesses need to grow our low-carbon economy. Now they need to deliver. Ensuring that they do so is why we introduced our climate change policy tracker.

Now in its fifth edition, the biannual tracker delivers our verdict on how government policy is doing. The tracker charts progress in de-carbonising four areas: power, buildings, transport and industry. The latest edition offers the first detailed look at how the coalition has done.

So what did we find? Of the 13 indicators we have, one is green showing progress is on track (nuclear power), three are red for little progress (homes, buildings and industry) and nine are amber showing good ambition but insufficient delivery.

The biggest threat the tracker highlights is that changes to our planning regulations could dissuade investors from putting in the money needed to low-carbon energy ideas. There are still 37 energy infrastructure projects awaiting a decision, inherited from the previous government. These include wind farms, nuclear and gas-fired power stations, which are essential for delivering a balanced and sustainable energy mix.

Of course, it's not all doom and gloom. We are beginning to see the government's plans for the green economy appearing in the chamber. There are some good ideas appearing that deservedly have cross-party consensus, but there is still much to get right. The issue is ensuring changes such as, electricity market reform and the green deal fit with other policy areas and understanding that climate change doesn't fit into one neat policy box. It affects all areas of our lives, so it must be considered in all parts of the government. That is what the tracker looks at.

As for what the government needs to do next, we have a clear set of priorities for next six months:
